Blog

If you've noticed minor damage on your vehicle's windshield, such as a small chip, you might be able to fix it with a repair kit. You'll just want to follow these protocols to give yourself the best shot at restoring windshield damage that's currently present.

Make Sure Kit is Relevant

You can find a lot of different repair kits for damaged windshields today. However, the purpose of these kits may vary. There might be a kit designed for a particular type of chip and then another kit that helps you fix small cracks. 

What you need to do is make sure you're focused on getting a repair kit that lines up with the type of damage that's on your windshield. Then you can trust the kit will include the right tools and resources to help you complete a satisfactory repair in no time.

Put Emphasis on Dependable Resin Solutions

Most repair kits for damaged windshields will include resins because these solutions can help with things like chips and small cracks that have developed over time. You just need to find a repair kit that includes dependable resin solutions that ultimately give you the repair results you're looking for.

Make sure the resin solutions are weatherproof, easy to work with, and have a quick drying time. Then you'll have more success fixing windshield damage and subsequently getting your vehicle to a safe point to drive again. 

Utilize Kit Around a Secure Environment

It's important to have a quality repair kit when trying to fix the damage on a windshield, but where you end up using this kit also matters. Even seemingly minor factors can affect your repair results after all, such as the wind and dirt. For this reason, make sure you find a secure environment to use this repair kit.

If you're able to work in a garage or at the very least under a carport, then you'll have more control over the elements and thus be able to use a repair kit a lot easier. You can avoid contaminating the resins with debris floating around for instance.

If you have damage on your windshield and it's not to the point where a replacement is needed, you may want to try your hand at using a repair kit. It can work out if you use the right one and follow the right guidelines all the way until the end.
